GEORGE L. CASE, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.

SASI-I-HANGER.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE L. CASE, of Minneapolis, Hennepin county,Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSash-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a sash hanger adapted for usewith either storm sash or screens, as desired and capable of beingeasily and quickly hung from the inside of the window.

A further object is to provide a hanger, which may be hung while sittingon the sill and will prevent the sash from rattling when in its openposition.

A further object is to provide a sash hanger, which can be hung on thewindow one corner at a time, making the operation of hanging the sashmuch less laborious than usual in devices of this kind.

The invention consists generally in various constructions andcombinations, all as hereinafter described and particularly pointed outin the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure1 is a perspective view, illustrating the application of my invention toa window, Fig. 2 is a detail view of the hanger removed from the sash,Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line ww of Fig. 2, Fig. 4: is a detailview of the plate or section of the hanger, which is fastened to thewindow casing, Fig. 5 is an end view of the same, Fig. 6 is a detailview of a section of the hanger adapted for use on a screen, Fig. 7 isan edge view of the same.

In the drawing, 2 represents a window casing and 3 a storm sash.

5 is a plate having means for securing it to the window casing and 6 isan arm formed thereon and projecting outwardly in a substantiallyhorizontal plane and having an upwardly turned end 7. This upwardlyturned end prevents the bar on the sash plate from slipping off duringthe operation of hanging the sash. A bend S is formed in the inner endof the arm, causing a depression 9 above the bend. This depression actsas a seat for the other member of the hanger. The plate has a portion 10which projects upwardly in the rear of the bend 8 and be tween theseparts and the wall of the bend the bar at the upper end of the othermember of the hanger is supported. This other member comprises a plate11, having means for securing it to the window sash and pro-Specification of Letters Patent.

vided with an offset 12, which allows it to overlap the plate 5 with itslower portion in the plane of said plate. The plate 11 has a rectangularopening 13 therein with a horizontal bar 1 1- at its upper end saidopening being of sufficient width to receive the arm 6 and allow the barto slip into the depression 9, an offset 12 in the plate 11 permittingthe sash to swing inwardly to its seat in the window casing. The arm 6is tapered, as indicated in Fig. 4, to more readily enter the opening13. The plate 5 is also provided with a lug 15 which enters the lowerportion of the rectangular opening 13 and is curved upward slightly andforms a guide for the plate 11 preventing it from swinging laterally orrattling.

In putting the sash on, it is only necessary to swing it out a shortdistance from the window, which can be done by a person seated on thesill, with one leg hanging out of the window. The bar 14 can then beengaged with the arm 6 and allowed to slide into its seat in thedepression 9. The sash can then be drawn to its closed position and thelug 15 will enter the opening in the sash member without any attentionon the part of the operator. The members composing this hanger may bestamped from sheet metal or may be cast, as preferred, and may be madein different sizes according to the dimensions and weight of the sash.

The lug 15, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, acts as a guide for the sashmember of the hanger and prevents the sash from moving vertically whenin its open position. This lug will also aid in preventing the sash fromrattling when open.

I claim as my invention 1. A storm sash hanger, comprising a platehaving means for securing it to a window casing and provided with anoutwardly projecting arm having a bend or depression formed therein atits inner end and provided with an upwardly turned outer end, a secondplate adapted to be secured to a sash and having an opening therein toreceive said arm, and a horizontal cross bar at the upper end of saidopening that is adapted to drop into the depression in said arm and beheld therein by the wall of said depression when the storm sash isclosed, and said arm projecting outwardly a Sufiicient distance to allowthe storm sash to be hung thereon while held in a substantially verticalposition.

2. A sash hanger comprising a plate having means for securing it to aWindow casing and provided with an outwardly projecting arm having adepression formed therein near said plate, a lug provided below said armon said plate and projecting outwardly therefrom, a second. plateadapted to be secured to a sash and having an opening therein, and a barat the upper end of said opening, said bar being adapted to enter thedepression formed by the bend in said arm and forming therewith a hinge,and said lug entering the lower portion of said rectangular opening andholding the sash against vertical movement when open, substantially asdescribed.

3. A sash hanger comprising a plate having means for attachment to awindow casing and provided with an outwardly extending horizontal arm,said arm having a bend formed therein between which bend and said platea seat is provided, a second plate having means for attachment to a sashand provided with an opening therein, and a bar at its upper end to reston the seat in said arm, means entering the lower portion of saidopening and serving as a guide for the movable portion of the hanger andpreventing lateral and vertical movement of the sash when open,substantially as described.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this Q lth day of July1909.
